Tua Pek Kong Temple, Sibu, Chinese temple by Rajang River, Sibu, Malaysia
The temple features a seven-story pagoda with traditional dragon and phoenix decorations on its roofing and columns against the riverfront setting.
Established in the 1850s, the temple underwent reconstruction in 1897 using materials imported from China, including stone blocks and decorative tiles.
The temple holds a statue of Tua Pek Kong, brought from Xiamen, China, representing the God of Prosperity worshipped by Southeast Asian communities.
Located in the city center, the pagoda offers viewing platforms where visitors can observe the Rajang River and surrounding urban landscape.
During a severe fire that destroyed parts of Sibu in 1928, the temple remained completely unaffected while neighboring structures burned down.
